Using the project documentation you gathered for the previous site inspection, review the plans, and project documentation for compliance with BCA requirements in relation to bushfire and high wind. Specifically:

• Identify and document the correct BCA references for bushfire and high wind compliance related to Class 1 and 10 buildings
• Assess the project documentation to identify if these compliance requirements have been met. Explain how you came to your conclusion in a brief report.
  

A B W Project 18 X 1 Low Rise Apartment, designed to sit on the edge of a shopping centre carpark in a small suburban town. The building was designed by architect Peter who is also the developer for this apartment. The development company has obtained planning permission from the local council, and have begun with the acquisition of the building site. The roads and footpaths have been constructed with drainage under floor, including steel sections to prevent water entering the concrete substructure. The structure has been completed with plumbing, electricals, and other services which will be connected once a tenant is confirmed and arrangements are made during construction. The soil at Site 18, a low rise apartment site, is classified as Silty-loam soil with a surface texture that is fine and silty in texture. This type of soil has the capability to retain moisture until a certain level of saturation occurs. Building codes require the bearing capacity of a pier or grade beam to be adequate to support the loads applied to it. In some cases, post-tensioned concrete piles may be used for the basement of a multi-level building Due to the lack of information on supporting trenches / excavations, these items have not been included in the Master Plan. If supports are required, this type of excavation will be very time consuming and hard to implement due to a number of factors, including foundations for existing buildings, invasive trees, curbs and sidewalks in many areas, utility locations etc DD 44 F6 delete 20 EA E2 F3 & O $ 6 7 @ 5 3 P
